I have been seeing recipes for bark since I started food blogging and I have always wanted to try making some. Bark seems to be pretty simple in concept, being chocolate that is melted and then topped with goodies. After the chocolate has cooled it is broken into pieces that I guess resemble pieces of bark. With the cranberry, pistachio and white chocolate combo still fresh on my mind I figured that it was the perfect time to try making some holiday bark. I decided to mix the cranberries and pistachios into the melted chocolate rather than just sprinkling them on top as I figured the bark would hold together better. The cranberry, pistachio and white chocolate bark turned out great! I used some good quality white chocolate that was nice and creamy and it felt like it was just melting in your mouth and it went perfectly with the cranberries and pistachios.

Given the simple concept of bark, there are near endless possibilities. Peppermint or candy cane bark seems to be another popular bark recipe around the holidays. A while ago when I was having trouble finding the bacon chocolate bar that I had heard about I was seriously considering melting down some good dark chocolate and making some bacon bark! Bacon bark aside, I am looking forward to experimenting with bark some more.

Then, melt your white chocolate in the microwave....dip each pb cracker in the candy, covering as much as possible...let them dry on Pam sprayed foil...O honey...these are really good.MERRY CHRISTMAS...bj

The first thing I did when I saw this post was say, "Oh YUM," out loud 'cause that just looks so good. I agree about trying it with roasting the pistachios first--they taste even better that way, as most nuts do when they're roasted.

I am absolutely in love with the white chocolate/cranberry/pistachio combination. Actually, white chocolate and I are best friends these days in general. Not sure why. This bark sounds delicious! Heaven in a bite.

Cranberry and pistachio bark sounds very good.Here is a great chocolate cheesecake recipe.
